Having people over? Why not make this whole roasted chicken with coriander seeds, bell peppers and onion. Such a great dish for a dinner party. The chicken is juicy and moist. I serve the chicken with a bean salad and feshly baked bread. Roasted potatoes is another way to go.
Tip: Remember to rest the chicken before cutting into it to preserve it`s juices. If you do not find whole coriander seeds, you can use ground coriander.
